<p> My e-readers says this book is nearly 400 pages. That sounds improbable to me, since I think I read the whole thing in no more than 6 hours.</p> <p> It is a perhaps telling irony that I started reading <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Fault in Our Stars</span> in the same week that my Mom started chemotherapy for a recurrence of the breast cancer that had been in remission for nearly 15 years.</p> <p> Anyway, it is sad, funny, impossibly earnest, full of lies and woven through with truths. I know that it&#39;s positioned as a Young Adult novel, but I think that&#39;s a lack of imagination on the part of reviewers as much as anything—the idea that any book featuring teenagers could be anything else being hard to process.</p>
